I didn’t make it to 40 weeks after all! I decided I wanted to take a photo with Finn that fit with my weekly belly update theme. I tried to make him look like a “belly” the way the cool people on Pinterest do it, but… FAIL! I won’t say too much up here because…Continue Reading “Belly Day | 41 Weeks”
You know what’s crazy? Thinking this might actually be my last update before Finn is born!!! Part of me wants to make it to 40 weeks because it’s a nice, complete number for pregnancy. I also love my due date and would be thrilled to have a Star Wars baby. However… part of me would…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 39 Weeks”
Last week was another exciting one, filled with baby thoughts and preparations. Mentally, I have fully shifted to thinking (obsessing) about labor and birth again. This is partly because we toured the Shawnee Mission Birth Center last Wednesday and went over all the things we wanted and what to expect and it made it feel…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 38 Weeks”
Nesting has hit! It slammed into me about 3 a.m. Friday morning and has barely let up since! I feel like I’ve hardly accomplished anything in spite of it, though. That’s unfortunate. I am battling some seriously intense hip and pelvic pain, making it almost impossible to walk in the mornings and by the time my joints and…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 37 Weeks”
I am very pregnant, people. I am flashing my pregnancy card left and right… “Why, yes, I’d love for you to carry my groceries.” and “Wow, I’m sorry I just made you suffer through the biggest brain fart ever, see… I’m pregnant.” I have a fascination with stepping back mentally and looking at the big…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 36 Weeks”
Today I had a chiropractor appointment! Yay… this has been something I’ve been wanting for 3 years… way to procrastinate, Brittany! It was pretty great. I expected so much more to happen at the appointment, but the few adjustments he made definitely helped my hips and I can’t wait to see if it stays this…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 35 Weeks”
Oh, how quickly I have gone from mildly miserable to fully miserable! I know I complain a ton on this blog, but it’s sort of my outlet (along with other outlets, like anyone else who is within hearing distance). Sunday I thought it would be a brilliant idea to trim our rose bushes. Half way…Continue Reading “Belly Day – 34 Weeks”
I’m dragging. That is why I took my photo a day late this week, I’m writing this post a few days late and I posted links to my last couple entries at least 2 weeks later than the week to which they corresponded. Ooops! This week I took my progress photos on St. Patrick’s Day…Continue Reading “Belly Day | 33 Weeks”
So much pain, people! My hips don’t lie. I am indeed having a baby soon(ish). A quick note about the photos this week… One of the very first weeks we took progress photos together, I told Miles he should hold a pinecone, because it was getting to be the winter season and I had this…Continue Reading “Belly Day | 32 Weeks”
Time has screeched to a standstill right when I need it to speed up! The last couple weeks pregnancy finally started taking hold of me in all the ways I was dreading. Just the basic task of walking is so painful I get discouraged thinking that I’ll need to be doing it all day, every…Continue Reading “Belly Day | 31 Weeks”
